Notes on agentic AI, MCP servers, creative automation, and architectural design — the systems behind the work.
Agentic AI, MCP, and Local Systems
Inside the 63-Tool MCP Server I Built for Creative AI
Most AI tools stop at generation. They hand you a raw artifact—an image, a text snippet, or a video clip—and expect you to take it from there. But what happens when you want an…

How I Connect AI Agents to Real Python and C++ Tools
In my previous post, I broke down why an AI agent needs a 63-tool MCP server to do serious creative work. But the architecture of how an LLM talks to a local file system—and…

How I Built an AI System to Search Thousands of BMX Clips
If you've ever tried to edit an action sports video, you know the hardest part isn't the editing itself—it's the logging. Going through thousands of clips to find the three angles…
Architectural Design, Revit, and AEC
My Revit-to-Lumion Workflow for Architectural Visualization
Building Information Modeling (BIM) fundamentally changed architecture. We stopped drawing lines representing walls, and started placing data-rich assemblies that act like walls.…
The Architecture–AI Bridge
Building an AEC Conflict Finder With AI and Computer Vision
In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, missing a clash between a structural beam and an HVAC duct can cost tens of thousands of dollars in the field.
Architectural Design, Revit, and AEC
Architecture Engineering Technology vs an Architecture Degree
When people hear you work in architecture, they assume you spend your days sketching parti diagrams on trace paper. But the reality of modern building design is far more technical.

Building Mneme: A Local Visual Memory Server for Photos and Videos
When we talk about "AI Memory," we usually mean text. We index Chat histories, PDFs, and codebase repositories using vector embeddings. But what about visual memory? If an agent…

Why Generic AI Video Editors Struggle With BMX Footage
There is a growing market of "AI Video Editors" that promise to take a 4-hour podcast or a Twitch stream and automatically cut it into engaging TikToks and YouTube Shorts. For…
Creative AI That Manipulates Real Media
Building an Agent-Controlled Non-Destructive Image Editor
When we talk about "AI Image Editing," we usually mean generative fill. You highlight a section of a photo, type a prompt, and the AI replaces the pixels. While powerful, this is…
Architectural Design, Revit, and AEC
How Plans, Sections, Elevations, and Renderings Tell a Building’s Story
Architecture is notoriously difficult to communicate. You are trying to explain a three-dimensional, multi-million dollar physical asset using two-dimensional media.
The Architecture–AI Bridge
The Design Technologist: Part Architect, Part Developer, Part Systems Builder
For a long time, the creative and technical worlds operated in silos. Architects designed the buildings, engineers calculated the loads. Designers created the UI mockups,…
The Architecture–AI Bridge
How Spatial Design Training Changed the Way I Build Software
Most software engineers learn to code by writing logic: if this, then that, for each item in array, while condition is true. They see software as a series of instructions executed…
AI Engineering in Practice
How I Plan Mobile Connectivity for AI Demos and Field Work
An AI demo can be technically solid and still fail because the room has bad guest Wi-Fi. The same problem appears when working from a client office, construction trailer, event…
